I had a completely different idea for this post, but because TT is still not 100%...my pictures took a bit of a different turn. My intention was to capture little bits of my day; the little details (kids included). Have you heard of that blog hop, 10 on 10 (or something like that)? I think you take 1 picture an hour for an entire day (10 hours total) on the 10th day of the month. (Did I get that right)? Anyway...I'm not organized enough to commit to one picture per hour, so here's my version. Just little bits of my day, sans kiddos.

Here we go! Fueling up for the day.

Heading home to spend the morning with Livia.

The bane of my existence.

Bane #2.

I've tried a couple times to catch my reflection in a soap bubble (I mean how bad could I look in a soap bubble, right?)...but it was a total fail. Here are my sad little supplies lying in the sink after I gave up. ;-)

Sis colored a few masterpieces this morning. They are now proudly hanging on the fridge.

Lunch time! (No, I don't eat like a bird. I had a hamburger and a hot dog for breakfast. Yes, really). The old Karli would have been very bothered by that piece of blurry lettuce in the foreground. The new and improved Karli doesn't mind.Edit: Upon closer inspection, the new and improved Karli does mind, but is fighting the urge to re-take the photo.

Fast forward to 5:30. (See??...I can't commit to one photo per hour). After my macro water drop picture, several of you asked if it would work without a macro lens. A different effect, but still fun. (It's the 2nd picture if you click the link).

Later, I wrote "good night" in steam on the mirror after my shower - lame! And I had a couple other ideas in mind to end the day. I wanted to get a shot of some traffic lights at dusk. Or a beautiful sunset on the golf course behind our house. Or little bokeh circles on a nearby lake glistening at sunset. But because TT was a bit of a nightmare this evening (she's still feeling yucky)...please enjoy this picture from the kids' bathroom window.

So what do you think? Fun, right? I even tagged this post "the way i see it"...and I think I'll have to try it again.

Your day is much prettier than my day. I was thinking on my way to work this morning that I should come up with a new way to work...a much more scenic drive or something. I'm getting bored with my current drive. Okay, enough rambling in your comment box. Loved them all.

Love the bubble shot and so hope the bane #1 makes it to my house. I have not a dishwasher in 3 years... but I now have one in the basement waiting for the tax return to buy countertop!!! I'm so excited.

OK, let's get this straight??? You are concerned that your salad shot might not be perfection?? Because one silly little piece of lettuce is out of focus? Ha! You are too funny! That water shot - GORGEOUS! Which lens? The sunset AMAZING! Bubble wand in blue dish - AWESOME. And I just love the way you see it! :-D Just sayin' xoxo

You're back :D I missed you haha in a non stalker way of course. I know you updated below but this is my first time getting back on blogger in a few busy days! love the photos as always and I should be eating salad myself!

Love this idea. I've seen that blog hop and thought about doing it myself, but the whole 10 picture thing scares me. I like your take on it and might have to try it myself sometime.

And thanks about those photos my hubby took. Although you did not see the SOOC shots. Just between you and me he has a little bit of learning to do, but I don't think he appreciates me barking orders at him. Whoops! :-)

Hi Karli, I wanted to answer your question on the moon shot I took like 8 captures but I used my 55-250mm lens. The first few my hands shook cause I was so excited but then I got more steady. It still is not perfect I want to try again with my new camera when I get it.. a canon T2I, so excited.

These are very cool Karli!I did a similar project about a year back ( I jsut posted it on my blog) and thought it was a lot of fun! I love your street scene...and ugh dishwasher....I hate doing dishes!

Well, I like the way "you see it"..... these are AWESOME!! Why are you beating yourself up about the lettuce photo? I actually like that look and sometimes purposely go for the blur in the foreground of the photo depending on where I want to draw the viewers eye.

LOVE LOVE the water shots..... so this one you did not use a macro? Which lens did you shoot it with? I really would love a macro..... but need to wait until the budget allows a new lens:)

Hope that Miss TT is feeling 100%.... Just in case you don't get to post before Saturday.... HAVE A GREAT TRIP!!!

xoxo,

Lisa

PS... I could never do a photo an hour, but i might give this a whirl~
